    I seem to have stumbled across a possible Abiword defect. And this one
    seems to affect at least two other applications - Mozilla and Galeon.
    But since the Abiword I installed was made from Ximian, I can't be
    positive it's an Abiword problem.

    Here's the scenario:
    1) Running RH 7.1 and Ximian desktop both fully patched and current.
    2) I installed Abiword .99.3-1 from Ximian.
    3) I noticed that native web fonts for a few different sites as
    displayed in Mozilla and Galeon looked awful. Example: www.freshmeat.net
    4) Uninstalled Abiword and problem went away.
    5) Reproduced the problem and solution on 2 other desktops.

    It's an easy test if you have Ximian. Can anyone else confirm this?
